My understand now is that linkshell or pearl just a chatting device i would like to that upgraded into guilds with special skills you can buy for your guild members maybe from system similar to merit points but instead linkshell leader or guild leader can switch to Guild points mode and for example they can buy special skills or keyitems that give extra bonus.

for example someone decides to make Blacksmithing guild he or she can buy skills that can improve crafting skills even further than items currently in the game

everyone post guild skills or linkshell skills that you would like to see
